Losso. Di Kori ritual doll

A great doll from the Losso tribe inhabiting Togo on the west coast of Africa. This kind of dolls has a ritual role and girls called them Di Kori, literally, -sons of bone-. It is made of a piece of animal bone and it features some strands of glass beads most likely arranged by the girl's father according to long-followed traditions and beliefs. A superb piece of African ethnography.
